Iliass Mansouri (Arabic: إلياس المنصوري), known professionally as DYSTINCT, is a Belgian-Moroccan singer, songwriter, and music producer.

[1][2] Iliass Mansouri, known professionally as Dystinct, was born on September 9, 1998, in Mortsel, in the province of Antwerp, Belgium, to a Moroccan family.

Later, he followed in his father's footsteps, who was a singer, abandoning his passion for football and turning towards music production before beginning to sing at the age of fourteen.

[3][4] At eighteen, while his family moved to Molenbeek-Saint-Jean in the Étangs Noirs neighborhood, Dystinct relocated to Amsterdam, Netherlands, after signing his first contract with Avalon Music, where he began collaborating with various Dutch artists.

Aiming to popularize his name in the Benelux and Maghreb regions, Dystinct quickly engaged in international collaborations, notably in 2018 with French rapper Franglish for a track on his album titled "Que Pasa".
